Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Joint injuries can be responsible for long-term complications such as post-traumatic osteoarthritis, joint stiffness, or pain. These traumas can occur during sports practice, work activities, or everyday life. The early management of these traumas must be optimal in order to limit the risk of disability. Thus, imaging, surgery, and rehabilitation must be at the forefront of innovation. Physical exercise allows the maintenance of joint amplitudes and muscle trophicity while having a favorable impact on the preservation of function. Multi-professional collaboration is the core of this care. Particular attention is given to high-level athletes for whom injuries are a frequent risk, with significant consequences for their career. Rehabilitation exercises may have a preventive and protective impact on joint tissue degeneration but should be precisely and rationally prescribed. However, this issue is not limited to sports-related injuries but concerns all aspect of joint, muscle, or ligament injury management from the early phase to the late phase. Papers addressing these topics are invited for submission to this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard and a practical focus on joint injury and/or rehabilitation.
